4. Discuss what this development means for the recipients.
After explaining the reasons, focus on the audience—how they are affected, what actions or options are available to them, any timetable, and what support the company will provide. Avoid shifting focus to the sender (1) or demanding extra sacrifices (3). Pointing out any positives or putting the situation in perspective (2) can sometimes be useful, but only if done sensitively and not as a way to minimize the recipients’ losses.
